Qian Xunji could hardly wait.
After a brief explanation, she hurried off.
"Your Excellency Jiang Mo, please wait!"
Seeing that Falling Devil Douluo, who had been protecting Qian Xunji, was about to leave as well, Yue Guan hurriedly called out to stop him.
Falling Devil Douluo stopped and looked at Yue Guan, silently asking why he wanted him to stay.
"Your Excellency Jiang Mo, could I trouble you to test Xiao Dong? Please simulate the impact of Soul Ring energy and estimate the maximum age of the Soul Ring he can withstand."
With Bibi Dong involved, Yue Guan was being exceptionally deferential.
"Of course!"
Falling Devil Douluo didn't refuse.
Whether for Yue Guan's contribution, which would benefit everyone in Spirit Hall, or for Bibi Dong's talent, it was worth his time.
Falling Devil Douluo then stepped in front of Bibi Dong, guided Soul Power into his body, and simulated the impact of Soul Ring energy.
As he steadily increased the force, his eyes gradually brightened.
"He can absorb a Soul Ring between two thousand three hundred and two thousand five hundred years old."
At last, Falling Devil Douluo gave his answer.
He seemed calm, but inside, a storm was raging.
A Second Soul Ring more than two thousand years old? Unless he'd seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it no matter how anyone tried to convince him.
"Little one, keep working hard at your cultivation."
Falling Devil Douluo looked at Bibi Dong, his eyes full of admiration.
He'd already decided that once he returned, he would discuss it with his brother and arrange for the young prodigies in their family to spend more time with Bibi Dong.
With talent like his, as long as he didn't die young, he was destined to become a top-tier powerhouse.
He might even reach the Peerless Douluo level of Angel Douluo.
Both Bibi Dong and Yue Guan were delighted with the result.
Their efforts over the past five months hadn't gone to waste.
Yue Guan couldn't wait to take Bibi Dong Soul Hunting.
A Second Soul Ring more than a thousand years old.
One way or another, he'd had a hand in it.
How could he not be excited?
After thanking Falling Devil Douluo, Yue Guan found Gui Mei and took Bibi Dong straight to Sunset Forest to hunt for a Soul Ring.
Meanwhile, Qian Xunji had already arrived at the Worship Hall.
This was the most sacred, most inviolable place in all of Spirit Hall.
Unless one held a special position, even a Titled Douluo couldn't enter freely.
Only Titled Douluos at level 95 or higher were qualified to reside in the Worship Hall.
At present, Spirit Hall had only five elders.
The Grand Elder, Qian Daoliu, possessed the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and was a level 99 Peerless Douluo.
The Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo, possessed the Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul and was a level 98 Titled Douluo.
The Third Offering, Azure Luan Douluo, possessed the Azure Luan Martial Soul and was a level 97 Titled Douluo.
The Fourth Offering, Mighty Lion Douluo, possessed the Flame Mighty Lion Martial Soul and was a peak level 96 Titled Douluo.
The Fifth Offering, Light Feather Douluo, possessed the Light Feather Divine Bow Martial Soul and was a level 96 Titled Douluo.
"Xunji, what brings you here today?"
"Have you run into some trouble that those two boys, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, couldn't handle?"
When Qian Daoliu saw his daughter arrive, a rare, gentle smile appeared on his solemn face.
Although his daughter's bloodline was a little lacking and couldn't activate the God Ancestor's trial, making it unlikely she could take his place, he had always noticed how diligently she cultivated.
He was quite pleased with her.
(Of course, a daughter was bound to receive different treatment from a son.)
"Father, there's something I need to report to you..."
Qian Xunji then told him about the effects of Whale Glue, as well as how high-age, light-attributed Whale Glue could strengthen her bloodline.
"Is that really true?"
Upon hearing that high-age Whale Glue could not only make up for her deficiencies but also strengthen her bloodline enough to activate the trial, Qian Daoliu could no longer remain calm.
As soon as the words left her mouth, he flashed to Qian Xunji's side and examined her condition.
Before long, a look of delight spread across Qian Daoliu's face.
Perhaps this opportunity would further strengthen Qian Xunji's bloodline and let her activate the God Trial.
Even if she couldn't inherit the God Ancestor's divine position, she could still receive the God Ancestor's blessing. There was a good chance she'd eventually reach his level.
"Second brother, I'm entrusting the Worship Hall's protection to you for the time being. I'm heading out to sea."
Once Qian Daoliu had made up his mind, he prepared to act at once.
To help his daughter activate the God Ancestor's trial, he'd decided to go to sea himself and search for a hundred-thousand-year-old light-attributed whale Soul Beast. All he wanted was its Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
As for its Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, Spirit Hall didn't have anyone suitable to absorb it right now. If it went to waste, so be it.
"Big brother, don't worry. I'll look after the Worship Hall."
Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke in a deep voice. Although he was much older than Qian Daoliu, he willingly called him big brother.
"By the way, Xunji, who discovered the effects of this Whale Glue? Don't be stingy with his reward."
Qian Daoliu still worried about his daughter, so he reminded her again and again.
After all, she'd only been Pope for a few years and wasn't very familiar with the job yet. He not only kept a close eye on things but had also sent Qian Jun and Jiang Mo to assist her.
Otherwise, with those two brothers' talent, they should have already reached level 94 by now.
"It was Yue Guan!"
Qian Xunji answered truthfully.
"That boy? I remember that he and his partner were both quite talented, with unusual Martial Souls. They had what it took to become Titled Douluos."
"Since he's made such a contribution, go to the Treasure Pavilion and pick out a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone that suits him."
"You've taken the seat in the Pope Palace. You need to shoulder its responsibilities, and it's time you started cultivating people of your own."
Qian Daoliu was rather surprised to learn that Yue Guan had made the discovery.
He'd paid attention to Yue Guan and Gui Mei before.
They were both quite talented, but each had strayed somewhat from the right path. It would be difficult for either of them to break through to level 95, so he'd stopped keeping tabs on them.
Yue Guan had taken a slight wrong turn: his Plant-type Martial Soul followed a path of metal hardening. Although it was the best choice for his circumstances, it still strayed somewhat from the proper path. As for Gui Mei, he'd prematurely exhausted some of his potential. His Martial Soul had evolved a second time, but in doing so, the connection between his soul and body had been severed.
Now that Yue Guan had made such a great contribution, Qian Daoliu naturally wouldn't be stingy. He decided to cultivate him.
Perhaps it would lead to a pleasant surprise.
Besides, his daughter needed support right now. Those two were both promising, with the potential to become Titled Douluos, and they even had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
With that in mind, Qian Daoliu decided to cultivate both of them and spoke up:
"Xunji, take two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. One for Yue Guan and one for Gui Mei."
